[Bada Software and Hacking General] terminander:
I almost gave up trying to get Bada 1.2 or 2 working on my Wave S8500. Most European flashes don't contain the UMTS850/1900 needed in North America for 3G/3G+.

I finally found the Venezuela 'L' flash contained those .

You can get that file plus the original S8500M flash for Bell from here

http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...00m-wave-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82

Both flashes are near the bottom of the page.

You'll need to record your Network Connections before flashing as the Bell Internet connections are not hardcoded in the Venezuela flash.

Working like a charm and quite the update from 1.0

Enjoy
[Bada Software and Hacking General] gambal:
Does this really work in North America? Do you have any problems with network coverage, or any other problems?

Has anybody else from North America (Canada) tried Venezualla's "L" firmware on WAVS8500?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] throughtheblack:
I can confirm it does indeed work. As for any problems or bugs, I didn't really run into any. I'm not a heavy cell phone user though so YMMV. Overall I would recommend it. I remember there being a trick I had to do to make it english, and the Venezuelan firmware had a weird theme IMO but that is easily changed. Loading this firmware also allows you to run the fota file to unlock your phone for free. I would say download the Venezuelan firmware as well as the stock Bell firmware. That way, if you don't like it, you should be able to go back to the way it was.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] gambal:
Do you remember, what version of Multiloader did you use to load the firmware and what was your operating system, XP, Vista, or win 7?

A while ago, I also tried to load Bada2 from Venezuela using Multiloader 5.64 under XP, but my phone crashed after bootloader. After that, there were some issues (usb not recognized) going back to Bell's Bada1 and I gave up. May be I did something wrong.

Has anybody else tried Venezuela's Bada2 and what versions of Multiloader, OS did they use?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] jon.marius87:
try version Multiloader 5.67 then after flash try master reset *2767*3855# ;)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] gambal:
OK people,

I managed to install the Venezuela firmware from Movistar, but what I can see I am not able to install applications both through Kies and the phone (Samsung App). The application store in Kies does not recognize the devise, but Kies itself recognizes it?! With manual selection of the device, I am able to download applications in Kies and it gives 100%, but don't see them anywhere in the phone.

For those having Win XP operating system and interested to flash there is a version of Multiloader 5.67 (with fixed GUI for XP) which works fine. It is called "Multiloader 5.67 by Bride". Here is the link:

http://tizen-centrum.pl/Multiloader-5-67-by-Bride-zmodyfikowany-wyglad-GUI

Correction:

App store in Kies is working, but you have to select Venezuela as the store country!

Can you share what you would suggest if you had a similar experience. :)

I was walking on the beach for the first time with my newborn, My phone was in my pocket for us to take pictures. it seems like my pocket got wet. The phone has no symptoms of water damage. the indicator under the simcard seems very white to me. but of course the phone is not recognising the sim card.

I tried a couple of sim cards and its no use. The it really seems like Nothing is wrong with the phone except for that.

Any suggestions or idea's ? Please feel free to call me dumb or stupid if you feel like it because that would be very true.

But the good part of the story is that we took some nice pictures :)

Wifi is working perfectly - if that helps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Are you pretty sure your pocket got wet or not?

I suppose its possible a part of the phone got wet, but water didn't happen to contact the moisture detection sticker in the SIM slot.

You might try a factory reset, and see if that helps (backup any important data/pics first). Or try to turn the phone off, and stick it in a baggy of uncooked rice for a couple days, to see if you can dry it out that way.

Other than that, I can't think of much else to try, without taking the phone apart. If you want to take the phone apart, you can see if there are other moisture stickers inside that have changed color or not (HTC usually places stickers in more than 1 location, including 1 inside the phone). Plus, you can see if there is any moisture or corrosion inside the phone (which you can try to dry or clean up).

You can find guides on how to take the phone apart on this forum by using the search function.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] markjcc:
Eject the simcard tray take out the sim and clean the gold contacts on the sim and press it firmly on the sim tray and stick it in
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
I would also put maybe 1 layer of clear scotch tape on the noncontact side of the sim to make it a little thicker.... This is a common hardware problem with the hox, both att version and international version.. if all fails exhange it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
Thinking of getting rid of my S2 and getting S3 wanted to find out how is the 3G service on S3 in the NY/NJ area . S2 I get Wimax which is ok . I had gps issues with my S2 but got solved after Sprint replaced it .

Any issues with S3 I need to be aware off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Unknownforce:
Data connectivity/signal is a very one sided thing. It's 99% tower.

Meaning... no matter what phone you have, you'll likely get the same speeds using the same protocols. With that in mind, you'll not get WiMax of course, so you won't get that speed.

But at least on the S3, you'll be on the LTE technology, which is being actively deployed all over the country, and off of the WiMax, which is no longer being implemented or improved upon, and will be decommissioned in the next couple of years.

But honestly at this point, I would just wait till May to see what they come out with.

The S3 is great and all, but you're at a turning point where if you wait just a little longer, it will be better I think.

Since you're already on the S2 and WiMax is available in your area and LTE isn't, there's no reason to move to another device really...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
I cannt wait and sold my phone already . Need a new phone so either s3 or evo lte
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ninja25:
I came from an Evo lte. I kinda regret switching to an s3 but don't. Only reason I switched was because of the speaker and call quality is horrible. The rest on the Evo I loved but the call quality made me switch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
So s3 has much better call quality then evo lte
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Ive owned both phones. But overall decided the gs3 because of development
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ninja25:
Idk if it was my Evo but call quality was horrible on it and speaker was no where near as the gs3. That's the reason I got the s3. Good speaker. Good call quality.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Unknownforce:
"Thinking about selling" and "sold" are two different things, tell us what REALLY happened or is happening and you'll get a better response.

Now, as to recommendation... This is ALL personal preference... With that... From a flat out "looks" standpoint... I personally dislike the weird color design they've done with the HTC EVO 4G LTE, Samsung's much more sleek and I personally like my device to not stand out like a sore thumb. Samsung's nailed that I think.

Now, from a usability standpoint, I've not had very much time to play around with the 4G LTE, but when I did, it felt very similar to my old 3D, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I personally dislike Sense. There are a few things I like about it, but in the grand scheme I always ended up using a different launcher.

The next point is freedom... HTC locks down their device pretty heavily. So, if you're going to root/unlock it, HTC's got some safeguards in place to prevent that and also a way to track that you have unlocked it. (They are all bypassable, but just more difficult to unlock...) Samsung doesn't lock theirs down as heavily. So that's a huge plus for me as well as many others, because from day one, it's unlocked, rooted, freed from restrictions.

So, if you don't root at all... and you are also content with HTC Sense, then you can go with the 4G LTE, but I've also heard many people that have returned their 4G LTE for an S3, for other issues, such as LTE not working unless you reboot the data services...

Samsung's also a little quicker on the updates for their devices and also don't End Of Life one of their flagship devices inside of a year. (EVO 3D is a great example of that...)

Personally I would recommend the S3, but it's of course all personal preference.

I just installed the CM7.2 SIII MOD V3 ROM from Faceliler and found it very light and useful, but the icon for setting up email accounts is not there. Gmail is in there, but I use the mail setup to get my hotmail and yahoo accounts in my phone. This is the first time I face a ROM that is lacking of the mail setup. May it be a bug or am I doing something wrong? I know this may be a very basic function but is one of the primary reasons why I have a unlimited internet plan in my cell phone, so its a primary function for me :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rycon33:
Guys, if there's any, then you have already seen it here by now. Let's face it, most devs got T not the TX. Maybe in time, we will have more ROMs but not at the moment.

Anyways, we can still enjoy it by rooting this lovely phone. :D

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fuzalert2k:
Well, there should still be a subsection. That will promote more rom development.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
No it won't. The only thing that will promote more development is more developers owning the device. Putting the device in a separate subsection will hurt development since it's extremely similar to the T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fuzalert2k:
Yes, it will. Developers don't need to own a device to port for it. If there was a subsection, I'm sure even FXP would have had a port out by now. Like they have one for the Xperia V.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] svasalatii:
Concur.

Or at least put TX on the list of devices, as done with TL which is just an operator's version of TL with no difference in design and specs.

TX, at least, have other id code (lt29 vs lt30 for T), other backcover design, and as was figured out, other firmware stuff packed.

I'll give my vote for a separate TX subsection. I'm owning the TX device, and I want to see stuff for my device.

TX is produced for East European, CIS, and Asian markets, which are IMHO larger in size than USA with their T(L)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gasai Yuno:
What am I missing here?.. I was sure FXP supported TX and went to https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/known-bugs/supported-device just now, it says

So LT29i (TX, "hayabusa") is not the Xperia TX?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
^^

As far as I know, FXP doesn't own XPeria TX. There are similarities to T but it is different. I have previously asked the Moderators and they were suppose to let the person in charge know but I guess their assumption was that Xperia T and TX are the same but I think instead of TL, they should add TX as TL is exact same as T with LTE and locked bootloader.

I think I read somewhere that developers that don't own a device can not publish their work unless being tested?

Any how, even tho I have moved to Xperia T I still think TX is different and little more recognition could help users here.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rycon33:
As a fan of custom ROMs particularly Cyanogen, I would say I just bought the wrong phone, LoL.:D:( I can only fault myself, hehehe. Should have waited for Z :), that one sure got many people ticked their interest.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] egzthunder1:
First of all, take it down a notch or two. No need to get so violent.

Second of all, unless I am sorely mistaken, most development on this forum is for the T and not the TL. So, your US argument is not only invalid but also uncalled for. The latter simply happens to work with most of the stuff for the T since the devs mod it just enough so it does work.

We might or might not add the section. As of yet, we do not see a real need for it. Lastly, as entropy said... A forum will not attract developers, a device will. As for the comment about the device not being needed. You are correct, for stock ROMs passed through a kitchen, there is very little risk involved and one could get away with no testing. However, real development like aosp requires the device since you need to new able to look at broken stuff when it happens. And let's not even touch the subject of recoveries, boot loaders, etc.

Now, tone it down a few pegs. If we add it, we'll add it and you will see it. For now, there are no plans for it.

Oh, and fuzalert? Consider this a friendly warning.

I'm wondering too. Why not a xperia TX forum? This wonderfull phone is a Sony's flagship and a very interesting device. Hope we'll have more developpement for this in a separate forum.

Xperia TX rooted owner.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] egzthunder1:
Uhmm.... they are the same exact phone with the following exceptions:

TX: 4.6" screen

T: 4.3" screen

TX: 15258 MiB ROM storage

T: 30518 MiB ROM storage

TX: has built in FM radio

TX: 1750 mAh battery

T: 1850 mAh battery

TX: Bluetooth 3.0

T: Bluetooth 4.0

TX: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA

T: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+

TX: 68.6 x 131 x 11.6 millimetres; 127 gramms

T: 67.3 x 129.4 x 10.45 millimetres; 139 gramms

Every other aspect of the device is exactly the same (processor, RAM, screen type, resolution, camera, etc). To say that one of them is better than the other would be silly. In fact, considering the larger capacity battery and HSPA+ connectivity... I would say that the T is a better device... but that is just my opinion (which I am keeping for myself). Devs go to the top devices normally because they know other devs will do the same. Availability plays a big role here as well. Getting devices from Asia is not a simple (or cheap) feat by any means. I hope this answers the question regarding the "TX is better than T" that was raised earlier in the thread.

Are there development threads for the TX that I may have missed anywhere in this site? Unless the answer is yes, I am not sure if this device will be given its own subforum.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
I am sure you mis-typed and Xperia T has 4.55" display and not 4.3"

TX design is different and to my eyes looks better.

and side note: I think TX was marketed in Easter Asian Countries and usually its much more expensive for Dev. to buy phone online instead of being available in their market.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] egzthunder1:

What about that question? Does it matter? No, it doesn't. Once we get our own sub-forum, we will all pitch in with our resources. Make ports if we have to. In fact, someone just posted a way to port LT30 roms to LT29.

It is essential to have our own subforum. If you don't own an Xperia TX, and yet still want to argue about why we shouldn't have a subforum, then you need to keep your mouth quiet. Thanks :)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KidCarter93:
If you lot want a separate forum so badly, prove there's gonna be enough development happening to make it worthwhile creating a forum for it.

If you're gonna say that until you get a forum there's nowhere to post your development, there's a miscellaneous android development forum which was created for this exact reason - to post development when a device doesn't have a specific forum.

Post your development over there and link to it in this thread and that'll show that development will infact happen and that will make it more likely that the admins will create the forum for you.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fuzalert2k:
Prove? The proof is there. Greg posted a rom, auras posted a rom, and FXP would also post a rom if there was a freakin dedicated TX forum. It's not like the T has an abundance of ROMS.

Or even the V.

Why does the V get its own subforum?

But above else, I'm a bit pissed that the TL gets recognition in the title header... why?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KidCarter93:
As mentioned in my last post, there doesn't need to be a specific forum for the development to be posted.

What makes the TX more special than all other devices which don't have their own forum? Nothing.

What would you suggest the admins do? Add a forum for every single device?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] wednesday13:
How about make it Xperia T / TX android development?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fuzalert2k:
Agreed.

Edit: Furthermore, I peaked at the Xperia V's android development and saw only TWO flippin ROMS.

That's less than the TX's.

Favorites? Oh God I love conspiratorial theorists...

As for your "who do you think you are?" question... I am one of this site's administrators. So, my word carries some weight as to what happens on this site.

Read up sunshine. Every forum on this site, every section we create, generates more load to the already small group of mods who have to spend their time dealing with people who come here thinking that they are entitled to something. I will gladly add the XT to the T's forum header if you feel that your device is under represented, but I will not give it its own section and that is that. You just verified what I thought on your post. .. there are only two roms (plus fxp's whose rom is still available regardless of whether there is a forum for it or not). On top of that, you are going to lure devs in by offering a device/etc? Really? Wow....

I honestly dont believe you understand the true purpose of this site. We are not here to provide end customers with custom **** for free. We are here to ensure that our devices go past the 6 month shelf life that they currently have (I am exaggerating a bit, of course), to fix stuff that should otherwise be working out of the box, but most importantly... we are here to LEARN from each other, to contribute our knowledge, time, and expertise in whatever area we have towards a common goal which is the advancement of the platforms and mobile devices.

If the only reason you are here is to "HAZ CUZTOM KEWL ROMZ" to impress your iPhone wielding friends, then I suggest you send me a pm requesting your account deletion because you are obviously a leech and bring zero value to the community and most importantly, you will not help the common goal of the site in the slightest bit.

If this is the attitude that you bring towards requesting a place for development, I cringe to the thought of how you will behave towards developers, let alone if you have donated something, which I am sure will give you the impression of you being entitled to moan and complain when your camera is broken or when your battery drains a tad faster, or god forbid that the dev doesnt release an update on your schedule.

Just like gregbradley said.... we dont like being told what to do. Particularly, when we have already explained the reason behind our decisions a few times.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] svasalatii:
Hey guys,

u're gonna explode, tune down a little bit.

Fru did raise the right question: why TL deserved being mentioned and TX not? What makes it difficult to just mention TX in the title of this subforum? Is it so difficult? I now don't speak about setting up a standalone subforum for TX.

How the developer is capable of knowing that T, TL, V subforum is the place he to post his SW or whatever for TX? If I were a developer and wanted to post a rom or alike, I would visit this subforum, saw no thread for TX, and leave the site as nothing telling me it's the place I need. Nothing but logic, yeah?!

I assume, even adding two short letters - TX - to the title of the subforum would be of use for everyone.

Make love, not war^-)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] egzthunder1:
Uhmm... actually that is exactly what I suggested above. All I am saying is that we will not set up yet another subforum for a device that is the exact same as the T. To answer the question regarding the TL.... the addition of LTE radio is enough to warrant a distinction as the hardware is different (parts of it anyways). The T and the TX are almost the same save a few details.
